Hi all, I just wanted to clarify that while these birds are highly diurnal on their breeding grounds (the far north, where the days are long), many if not all recent studies of wintering birds in the lower 48 show these birds are most active and hunting at night (some over open water, hunting gull

He was flying over the lake to the NE when I saw it shortly after sunrise. Eric DeFonso and I looked on the north side of the lake and I spent a little bit of time looking below the dam but didn’t see it again. Tom Redd Highlands Ranch > On Dec 25, 2017, at 11:16 AM, Ira Sanders wrote: > >
